Early Angler Catch Nothing

Met BIL at East Coast Parkway McDonalds at 6.30am. Set up my gear, throw the lines but nothing interesting at the new spot that we went.

The only wonderful happens there is the sunrise...



and a stupid sign.

As there was no bite at all and with noisy apeks swimming around the small jetty, we decide to change spot somewhere at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.

Decide to buy worm baits (pon pon sarung) and a quick breakfast at Changi Village. Bought a longer Rod Sling Back cause the one keep flipping away when I ride fast.

Easy parking, right at the edge.

The new bite alarm - When It Flies... It Bites!

Don't fish here in the mid day... arrghhhhhhh!!! Its burning hot!

If only fishermen or anglers that have boats are considerate enough to lay their nets not too near the shore, so that we anglers can share the catch. They lay their nets at about 50 - 80 metres from the shore.

After one hour of waiting, I got these... hmmm.. at least there was some bite!

Puffer Fish a.k.a Fubu (Buntal)

Eel Tail Catfish (Sembilang)

Striped Eel Tail Catfish (Usat)

Fubu.. thrown back to the sea. All the catfish, I gave it to a Thai construction worker.

Malaysian Mermaid

Found these pictures when browzing Malaysian Fishing Net Forum. You guys decide yourself, whether mermaid are really myth creatures.

As in the report, this picture was shot at one of the Malaysian islands. Don't know lah which island.

Hope... I don't hook one, tomorrow!

Longkang Fishing

Decide to return again at this longkang on Saturday morning. Ride up to Changi Village to buy some worm baits (sarong), pack a teh 'o' then taking my sweet time riding along Nicoll Drive and Changi Coastal Road to ECP.

Saw a few anglers by the beach, maybe one day I try my luck wetting my lines there.

Reach longkang around 10.30 and was surprise that the tide is already high since high tide is at 1pm. Set my gear, hook up the bait and cast at the previous spot where i caught few catfish (sembilang) there. Set up my second rod and wait for bites.

My BIL* came an hour later with his cute little SureCatch telescopic rod. He tried some few rigs but the fish just don't want to bite. Maybe there not hungry or maybe on a diet.

We left at 3pm and lucky enough when I reach home, it rains heavily.

Hey there!

Since hook on fishing just few months ago, might as well I have a blog on my weekend fishing. Maybe I shoot some of my catches and upload it here.

Right now I realized that the hole in my pocket is getting bigger due to buying of new fishing gear.

And i don't care whether it's surfcasting, luring or even pond fishing, if time permits and some cash to buy bait, you can find me at Changi Broadwalk, Bedok Reservoir, Pasir Ris Pond or any longkang at East Coast.
